Course offered: 5-Year Integrated Program in Management. 

General information: IIM Indore was established by The Govt. of India in 1996. In 2011, it launched the 5 year Integrated Program in Management, first of its kind in India. The Programme consists of 15 terms spread over a period of 5 years, with each year having 3 terms of 3 months. IPM is in two parts. The first three years build a foundation, and the last two years focus on management.  Upon successful completion of all the requirements of the programme, IIM Indore will award Bachelor of Arts (Foundations of Management) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees under Dual Degree Programme upon successful completion of IPM.  The programme has been accredited by the Association of MBAs, London (4th and 5th Year).

Exit option:  Student will be allowed to withdraw from the course after successful completion of three years and shall be awarded with a Bachelor of Arts (Foundations of Management). 

Leaning goals: The learning goals of the first three years shall be to enable students to 1. Demonstrate language skills 2. Demonstrate oral communication skills 3. Demonstrate knowledge of foundational subjects for management studies 4. Demonstrate an awareness of ethical understanding 5. Enhance physical well-being.
The foundation has three major elements: Courses in Mathematics, Statistics and Economics build analytical rigour.  Courses in Psychology, Sociology and Political Science along with courses in Economics provide an understanding of the core disciplines on which the study of management is based. Courses in Science, Engineering, Humanities, Literature and Fine Arts provide breadth and perspective.

The last two years of the programme are at the Post-graduate level and the IPM students are mixed with the PGP programme students and they go through the same set of courses as the PGP programme. Hence the learning goals for these two years are the same as that of the PGP Programme.
